Yes, a disaster.

1. We don't know he is injured.
2. We have other options.

Thats why I said hopefully he isnt injured.

Our options are not as good as him.

Let’s wait and see what klopp says post match but we really need him at the weekend. His recovery pace is crucial in playing that hybrid CB/RB role. We could really be doing with Gomez at left back too to deal with foden.

Klopp on Konate: "Ibou said to me 'if I do another sprint, it could be set'. Should be fine but we don't know, Joe Gomez is fine, played a lot, rotation. So let's see with Ibou."

Samie told me post match that Klopp had told Jamieson that Konate had said it was just a precaution and he would play on Sunday if he had to be carried on.

So thats sorted then.

Hopefully he stopped running because his hamstring felt tight rather than actually pulling his hamstring. Its happened enough for him to know the signs.

He walked off without much discomfort.

Doubt he plays against city though, maybe give him a week or two off.

If he hasn't pulled his hamstring I would roll the dice with him at the weekend. Put your finger in the light socket and hope for the best.

Depends on the severity.

No point in playing him for him to break down early and we rarely take chances with players.

I hope he’s fit but will will know on Sunday.

No point taking a risk that could mean losing him for 4-6 weeks. I know it's been said subbing him was precautionary, but the fact that he was limping isn't a good sign.

Will be interesting what we do if he is out. Gomez has played so little at CB this season so I'd expect it to be Quansah alongside Virgil.

I've just watched it back and he was 100% limping when attempting to run back as Sparta broke on us.

At least he got it out the way. He'll be in the ascendancy between now and the end of the season once he shakes off the rust, back to his usual self.

The only thing that gave me a tiny hope that it wasn't an ACL was that the commentators on my stream weren't taking it all that seriously after the replay. It looked to me as though his leg had bent completely the wrong way, but it must have just been a trick of the eye thanks to his hip turning inward. Thank fuck.

Bit confused how he played the entire game as we know he can’t do a 3 game week and play in all of them. You’d expect he plays Sunday and you’d want him for the Atalanta game, so a bit miffed there as if he plays all 3 he’ll increase injury probability significantly based on his past

Absolutely shocking challenge, was amazed when he played on. Looked like someone had told the c*nt to injure our players, and he didn't really know how to do it, but knew to trap and twist the knee.
